An Introduction to Water Pollutants

Teacher

Course description:

Human beings survive on this planet peacefully where more than 70 percent is water. This water is the most essential things for living. More than 97 percent of water is salt water and around 3 percent is fresh water which is found at river, stream, pond, lakes, clouds, ground water aquifers etc. This fresh and salt water is under threat by the addition of different waste and poisonous substances. That’s why we need to learn about the contents and substances which can pollute and degrade the quality of water. This comprehensive course, “An Introduction to Water Pollutants,” is designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the various pollutants that adversely impact the quality of water resources. As environmental concerns regarding water pollution continue to grow, this course equips participants with essential knowledge to comprehend, assess, and address the complex issues surrounding water contaminants. By the end of this course, participants will have gained a comprehensive foundation in the field of water pollutants, enabling them to critically analyze environmental issues, contribute to sustainable water management practices, and make informed decisions to address the challenges posed by water pollution. This course is suitable for students, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the intricate dynamics of water quality and pollution.

An Introduction to Water Pollutants Objectives

In this course the learners will get some ideas on the sources of water pollution and the substances which create water pollution.
